ANY TIPS WELCOME!!!I got a few strains going right now..Kryptonite,GirlScoutCookies,StrawberryCough,and Platinum GSC. All are in VEG right now under a 1000 watt A/C hood w/ Optilume MH bulb. Krypto,GSC,and Strawberry are in 5 gal. pots Platinum GSC are in 1 gal. pots thinking they might need to be transplanted soon. Using VICTORY potting soil and as for nutrients im using CYCO PLATINUM SERIES...Temps get up to about 84-88 while light is on and about 77-80 while off. watering about every 3-4 days it seems, ill give them just Ph adjusted water one day and the next watering I give them nutrients with Ph adjusted accordingly.

Only got like a week left on my nutrient scale for veg but don't know if my plants are ready just yet should I keep them in veg longer or should I just start the flowering stage? Idk what to do any suggestions?

 

[EwokSmks247]

Well looks like my kryptos and one of my platinum gsc are starting to turn a little yellow on me not sure why but my other girls seem to be doing fine...also tips look like they are getting droopy on me..thinking it might have got to hot in the tent that's why they're droopy not sure why they're yellowing tho

strawberry c. is doing nice thinking she needs a little trim

GSC doing good had to bandage a branch I snapped to much..ooops

yellowing or just new growth?

definitely yellowing just don't know why

should I take more branches off the bottom of the young ladies?

Your plants look great!!
I'm the first one here? Wow. Thats a first. Lol.
As to the flower or not to flower q, honestly if I were you I'd flower all the ones in 5 gal pots, put the smaller plants in larger pots (and larger pots for the 5 gals wouldn't hurt either) and let them veg a bit longer.
I think the yellowing on that one plant could just mean its hungry for a little N, but thats just me haha.

Pots...so looking at four new 7 gal. and one more 5 gal. As for the yellowing they are doin better now that I fed them

Subscribed. The plants with the lighter green new growth are in need of more nitrogen in their nutrients. You do not need to removed the lower growth until 7 days from when you plan to flower your plants. When you decide to flower your plants can also be determined by estimating the height you have available to flower your plants in from the light source and what light source you plan to use to determine the flowered height of your plants and maximize your grow area. Usually an indica dominant cannabis plant will grow 2x-2.5x in height in flowering. A sativa dominant cannabis plant will usually grow 2.5x-5x in height in flowering. What are you adjusting your pH to?

I adjust my pH to around 6.5-6.8....will add a little more nitro to them tonight cause they still seem to be a little yellow but they are doing better since I fed them a couple days ago...also my tips still seem to keep drooping even though I raised my light...its about 22-24 inches above the girls should I raise it more?

Plants will naturally droop as the daytime light goes on during the day. Are you plants under watered or over watered? Place your finger 1-2 inches into the soil and feel how moist the soil is and if it requires watering. You should also light your pots when you have just watered when the pots are heavy and again when the pots require re watering and the pots are light to get a feel for when the pots require watering again. Your light may be too high above your plants and you may be able to lower your light. Place your hand underneath the light and move your hand to the point you can not feel any heat and adjust your light above the canopy at that height.

Here are some lumen versus distance charts, they do not take heat into account

You wait for the soil to dry out to transplant?
Just wondering, because I always water it right before transplant because I think it helps the root ball+soil slide out easier, squeezing the sides of the pot a little to help urge her out. Not that I know that for sure Lol, but all my transplants seem to be shock-less and smooth.
Also thats great they're looking better, I'd love to see a pic though

 

[KingJohnC]

I find it best to water my plant then transplant it within 2 days from watering while the soil is still moist and easily transplanted.

ya I usually wait till they dry out a little before transplant...the soil is a little more on the dry side tho

 

[EwokSmks247]
